not my favorite

This plate is not sturdy enough to stand up to hard use. A single point sling hooked into the hole will put enough torque on the webbing slot to bend it out of shape. Once bent, a sling hook can ride up in the slot and stick, which is not what you want a single point sling to do. The plate also projects out from the receiver such that I always seem to bang into it and scrape my hand.

easy to install but damaged easily

Easy to install but after just a few hours of work with a single point sling it was bent where the sling attached and the sling began to catch. For me to make it work correctly would have to use some sort of adapter.
